For beginner hotel shoppers, you may want to cut your teeth on ACL shops. In order to qualify for their hotel shops, you usually have to successfully complete some dining shops for them. Like most MSCs with shops that will require the shopper to pay in advance and await reimbursement (for a successful shop report) they want to have a good idea that the shopper will write a successful report before asking them to risk a few/many hundreds of dollars.
